Congratulations Mareko! Finally got a chance to see the show last night. What really tickled us was the way the judges reacted in the first round test. They did their whacking and then had "whoa dude! what a knife!" moments. They seemed genuinely blown away by it. That such a light knife could beat on antlers and then rip through a row of apples like that was great.

Thank you all for your awesome support!! I had a great time competing this second time around. Definitely a bonus to bring home a win after all the hard word.
Ya all the testing was really brutal to watch, but as you can see, proper heat treat and edge geometry go a long way. @Lucretia, I baked a bunch of cookies to take and share with some of the film crew and my competitors. They felt the same way you did and they were very well received!

Congrats Mareko! I just had a chance to watch the show. That was a great competition, and you were so calm and cool all they way. Nicely done sir.
I also loved seeing your shop, and that grinding jacket is priceless.
